The Tebow Photo Everyone is Talking About

The photo of UM alum Molly Jones flashing "The U" in a photo with Tim Tebow has been making the rounds on the internet at lightning speed and the biggest question is "how did she pull this off?" Because Molly is a good friend, we were able to get the inside story of how the photo happened.

Molly told us "I mustered up the courage to walk up to him. He was a very nice guy and a great sport about agreeing to snap a photo. My brother counted to 3. '1…. 2….' I threw up the U. BOOM! Tebow turned to me and said, 'Did you just throw up the U?' I smiled and nodded. He said, 'Aw, c’mon,' but was VERY nice about it. He really should have made me delete it."

As for why she took the chance at pulling off such a ballsy move with the former Gators' star QB, Molly said "I love my alma mater way more than a person should."

Hmm...let's see, 5 National Championships, countless NFL stars and Pro-Bowlers, the longest home winning streak in NCAA history, the greatest dynasty in NCAA history, the record for the most 1st round picks in one year, a reputation for being NFL U (unlike the absolute garbage that Florida puts in the NFL).
